| I really like the stark contrast in reactions between the manga readers and the anime only watchers lol. |
 Me and the boys on the hunt to find Yuugo. |
| Damn, what an episode! Anime-only here so I can't comment on the changes and whatnot but those final contrasting moments there has got me very interested. Sonju's true intentions are out but I suppose it's a relief that he shouldn't bother the kids for a while at least. Expected something like this, to be honest. What's Mujika's side of the story though, I wonder... Great shelter and tech by the way. "HELP", ominous signs however. |

nthcolor said: RayAnna81194 said: Yeah as much as I love this series to death I can't defend them this time. Especially given how Shirai is working on this personally like, what?! Given that the original creator is directly involved with this adaptation, my hope is that he'll fix this somehow. There are few writers out there that are more hellbent on destroying their own work like Shirai. Not only does nothing make sense, I’m not understanding how any of this is going to be only a little “anime original content”. Whatever this is is just altering the story altogether. I would agree with you if after watching the next episode, they still don't introduce , for now it's just too soon to judge whether the series is actually going anime original fully or not. |

| This episode was so boring. It felt more like a random slice-of-life episode. I remember how absurd and hilarious it was from the manga in how they found the hideout conveniently laid out for them like it's a frigging 3-star hotel made by Nick Fury from SHIELD. The way the kids seemed too relaxed and optimistic about stumbling upon the hideout doesn't befit the intended mood of the story (at least what it originally wanted, perhaps). The "oh shit" moments with the HELP sign and the rigged call from the "William Minerva" also felt so coincidental and a rather hilarious way of reminding them that they're still in deep shit. I don't remember that much from the manga (and frankly don't want to), but it also felt like they skipped stuff yet again here. This is continuing to look like an incoming narrative disaster. |

| I personally found It keeps getting worse... |

| Looks like we're entering the mystery phase of the anime once again. Seems interesting. |
| Yeah that's quite different from the manga for sure. Not that I don't think it worked like this too but.. why exactly? I'm not quite sure where this is going but hopefully they know what they're doing. Think the author is helping out with the script for the anime at least |

Hopefully he makes it good enough to where the manga readers don't drop the show. |

| Oho... Everyone is sus in this anime, Minerva included. I don't know why many manga readers said that the story goes downhill after the escape in the first season. It's still very entertaining for me. But man, both the OP and the ED are brilliant. |

At this rate if the next episode doesn't introduce a certain somebody, it's looking like the anime will continue with an original plot. |

| Interesting episode. Sonju and Musica saying goodbyes to the children. Sonju has ulterior motive. The kids reach there destination but its wasteland. But they find it with the help of the pen Norman gaves. Its an underground shelter that has complete amenities and escape routes. The episode ends with suspicious phonecall and a room with "HELP" written on it and other letters on the wall. Btw manga readers you need to calm down. You need to wait next episode before judging it. Because that person will appeared. |

I thought this whole series was pretty anti-shounen for being a JUMP comic, referring to the tropes of course. |

But if the next episode doesn't end with even a frame of a certain somebody, I think manga readers who enjoyed the manga will have the right to complain as much as they want. |

| Really enjoyed this episode, the children all got to the underground shelter but at the end with the "Help" on the wall is interesting, what could it mean? |
| Very interesting episode. |
| first season was better thank season 2. |

But I've heard that many manga readers were displeased with it. So maybe an anime original direction will be better? It may be worse as well, so it's a gamble. As I said, I have absolutely no idea how things turn out but so far I'm enjoying it and that's what matters to me. At least now it'll be more unpredictable for you manga readers lol |

| at this point Im not even mad about the changes, but curious about what the hell are they trying to do. My biggest guess its that they are changing the order of events, but its still pretty wierd. episode at least wasnt boring, I have to recognize that. |
| :v |
| Seems like the anime is going through this pretty fast. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Just when things were looking good, finding Minerva's shelter things turn for the worst. Emma, Ray finds a creepy phone with Minerval calling and Yvette finding HELP sign on the wall. I'm guessing this was Minerva's Farm back then. |
 |
| I know every other manga reader has mentioned the issues with this episode, but still I gotta say it, Season 1 was very faithful to the manga for the most part, but if season 2 keeps going the direction its headed, I'm afraid that it will be a poorly paced and confusing watch. I really hope to see things improve next episode |
I just can't get enough of this kid's face xD |
| OK so this was a pretty nice episode but... |

RayAnna81194 said: deadshoujo said: the people who gave this episode 5 stars are 100% anime onlys. fellow manga readers will understand why I gave this episode a 1 star. Yeah, it just felt like a disservice to the manga readers honestly. I know people shouldn't complain too much but this deviates so much from the source material that I think manga readers have a right to be annoyed. Haven't read the manga yet, but when this kind of things happen one has to wait to see if the things where actually left out or just rearanged for it to make more sense. Idk if it was the case here, but that was the case with Re:Zero season 2, they obviously also skipped things there for what i've seen people talk about, but important plot points that happened earlier got rearanged to have more impact later. That or they going full anime original after ep 2. |
| Haven't read the manga: It seems like Minerva uses this place do his own experiments maybe. That HELP sign could be from his subjects. He attracts the people smart enough to reach the vault and then experiments on them? Who knows, let's see! Please don't confirm or deny this if you have read the manga. Very interesting, looking forward to more! |

| Just a quick thing i remembered: didnt they all have trackers in their ears? Or only just a few? |
 |
| So, they're outta the forest and that where Souju and Mujika take their leave, but wtf Souju actually likes human meat, but not the kind that were farm raise, rather the kind that were running wild......SHIT So, after what Yevette and the other kids saw, could it be that bunker, is a death trap???? |
| WTF is the studio doing? A certain someone is entirely missing. |
shane_nichols said: Quite the boring season for this anime. Seriously, like where the danger? Then tension? Why you're so sure that they are safe? |
